Trail Tote is completed!

Finally, the Trail Tote is completed! The appliqué is in celebration of the recent Solar Eclipse, and is my own addition. The pattern is by: Noodlehead, and is available in small or large sizes. This is the small size. In this area we got only a Partial Eclipse, and that narrow "grin" of sunshine was all that was visible to us at the Solar Eclipse's fullest moment. There is a zippered pocket on the exterior, a great place to add a decorative zipper pull! That ornate oval slider had been in my stash for years, so now it is put to use. Bright yellow piping decorates the outer edges of this Trail Tote. The interfacing is Pellon® Decor Bond 809®. The finished dimensions are 10"W X 10 1/2"H X 1 1/2"D. Trail Tote is an easy to construct bag, with detailed instructions. Plus, there is plenty of room inside for all of those necessities. To see the inside, please continue reading.

Here is the inside of the Trail Tote. There is a slip pocket with a Velcro® fastener, and a magnetic snap closure. Chevron is not my favorite design, but it does seem to work for this lining. In fact, now I kind of like it.
